Robin Roberts: Information from Answers.com (1013 words) |
 | Roberts was born in New York City in 1940, but grew up across the country in Tacoma, WA, where he was by all accounts a full-fledged slide rule-carrying science nerd in high school. |
| But Roberts was also an amazingly charismatic and vibrant singer, and he was soon providing vocals for local group Little Bill & the Bluenotes, moving over to become a vocalist for the Wailers when the Bluenotes split up in 1959. |
| Roberts only recorded six songs with the Wailers (most of those appeared on the group's live The Fabulous Wailers at the Castle album) before leaving the group to concentrate on school. |
